I accidently blew through one of the Florida Ag inspection stations when I was really new (I was empty). About 10 miles down the road I came across another one (I had switched roads, so Ag stations weren't on the same road). Anyway, I stopped and went and told officer I accidently blew through the previous one. He looked at me like, why are you telling me this, I don't care. Told me, with a tone of bewilderment and reassurance, I was fine, go ahead.

If its not food or forest products or animals
I don’t think you have to stop
I think that’s why they have two separate stations .
Ones a normal
Scale and the other is the ag inspection station. -
Who Has to Stop at an Inspection Station?
The following vehicles must stop and submit to inspection:
- Trucks,
- Rental trucks,
- Vans,
- Trailers AND
- Any vehicles carrying agricultural, horticultural or livestock products
-
Does that mean I also need to abide by truck speed limits in a truck oops I mean bobtail?

If you have a US DOT number on your truck, it doesn't matter if you're bobtailing, loaded or hauling a helium birthday balloon. You are in a cmv on duty and accountable for that vehicle. Even if you are on Personal Conveyance, you have to enter..
lovesthedrive Thanks this. -
Running legal isn't so bad when you have personal conveyance on your ELD to run around when your on your 34 restart in whatever town your in -
There are no stupid questions and you'll never know if you don't ask -
I’d say yes, cuz even if you’re mt or bontailing, they can still DOT you.
